Hey guys, I am self admittedly inexperienced with OC'ing processors, but after hearing about people ratcheting their Q6600's up to stupid values, I figured I'd give it a go. All I'm shooting for is 3.2GHz, but I can't even manage that.
Basically, when I go past 2.8GHz, my pc just hard locks. No bluescreens, no error messages, just hardlocks. Granted, this might have something to do with the fact I'm using Nvidia's system tools to do it, but lower clocks work just fine using the same tool, so I dunno. I'm using it because I can't find the option to toggle FBS speed in my bios, so if anyone could help me out there as well that'd be awesome.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, this is on stock voltage. Increasing the voltage didn't do squat :/
My specs:
Q6600 Quad-Core
Two 8800gt's in SLI
8gb Corsair Dominator DDR2 RAM
Nvidia 750i Motherboard.
Any help would be sweet!
